Tumse bichhad kar bhi maine tumhe bura nahi kaha,
Mohabbat thi — isiliye izzat ab bhi wahi hai.

Tanhai se dosti kar li, ab wohi saath deti hai,
Log aate jaate hain — tanhai kabhi chhodti nahi.

Tumhara naam likhta hoon phir mita deta hoon,
Kuch mohabbat sirf khali jagah mein rehti hai.

Kahani khatm hui, bas yaadein reh gayin,
Kitab band kar di — par panne palat-ta rehta hoon.

Log kehte hain muskurahat achhi lagti hai mujh par,
Kisi ko kya pata — muskurahat ke peeche kya hai.
